Author S.Wise-Suggs

Hello All and Blessed Be! I realize I have not updated for nearly a month and I fervently apologize! I have been mindlessly busy working on the second book, of which only three painstaking chapters are done. I have also been battling a raging sinus infection,  babysitting a small infant, working on other side jobs, and I recently adopted a black kitten. The life at home has been one thing after another. It's no wonder I find little time to write anything! I want this next book to be much better than the previous book, which to my disappointment was a flop, I have not yet sold a single copy and that got me down for a bit. However, very few of us experience smashing success on the first go so I have not given up! We newbies to the self publishing world have fierce competition and have to work hard to find a niche to establish ourselves. I have spent a lot of nights awake compiling my materials and adding more pages and enriching my next book so that it will hopefully b...

I apologize for not updating in awhile, I have been steadily gathering materials and notes for my second book and trying to compile it together so I can write it out as I intend it to be. Trying to piece together this year of 2013, and rounding up all of my spells , recipes, and other bits and pieces of knowledge has become a task bigger than I had originally planned, and I am thinking I may have to present some of my spells and witchy workings into the third book when I get to that. Now that I think of that idea, that actually sounds like something more manageable.  If anyone wants a sneak peek into some of the spells and crafts that will be featured in book 2, please go to my other blog titled "Ravenwolf's Blog Of Witchy Workings". There are a smattering of spells that are older and some that are very recently done.  I am open to reader's suggestions as to what types of spells and workings you all would like to see written into my books, I shall...

  Things are not going well on The Darkened Path series. Thus far there have been literally no sales, a lot of free sample downloads, and what seems to be a lot of constructive critical advice from various sources I have asked for feedback.  It is  meant to enlighten me about how  many atrocious grammatical and editorial errors I have made. 2 out of 4 people are telling me just how bad I have screwed up and that I need to just pull down the entire project and scrap it or else do a complete overhaul and republish. Else I damage my writing reputation even worse? Um, I was not aware I have joined some kind of secret publishing mafia where the slightest grammatical error will get me killed on the spot?  Even so much as a typographical slip up will land me in author's purgatory for the rest of my life. Oh the shame and horror!!     No, my readers, I am not in the best mood.. it's probably best described as darkly humorous and...

I discovered something today that made me very happy! createspace.com, the Amazon site I used to publish my book  TheDarkenedPath book:1   has finally allowed we publishers the expanded distribution option for free!  before it was $25.00 to add three extra distribution and sales channels, now I can get my work seen and possibly sold to a lot more potential customers! So if anyone who is a retailer, library, school, wholesaler or anyone else looking to add a new title to your collections then I am happy to announce that my work is finally available to you at a wholesale price here --->  https://www.createspace.com/4216755 .  Again the Kindle version is also available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and several of their partner sites. I am slowly and painstakingly working on the second book, I have a lot more to write into it and there seems to be tons of my own spells, recipes, and other such ideas to tr...

I have dropped the price of the kindle edition to my book, The Darkened Path Book One: The Burden, to the lowered price of $6.99.  http://astore.amazon.com/pagansamongus-20/detail/B00FF4HZUE     The printed version's price has gone down to a neat and tidy sum of $9.49 http://astore.amazon.com/pagansamongus-20/detail/1483929728 .  While you all are browsing, feel free to browse my many, many other selections available for purchase and if there might be something missing please let me know so I may add it!

Well, my new book has thus far made no sales and I'm pretty down over that.  Potential customers and retailers are looking and checking things out but no sales thus far. I need at least $100.00 in royalty sales in order to launch distribution and offer sales to other countries and companies. I was somewhat hoping for a foot in the door of the publishing world and a chance to prove my worth a bit. Other things in my life are looking very dark and depressing indeed. My utilities are this close to being shut off, my heat bill is still unpaid,  and if this happens I will get evicted from the apartment I am already scraping the pennies to hold onto. It has not been a great two months. I can't afford to move otherwise I would. I had a grand idea and a vision of being successful as a author and publisher, somehow that is not panning out like I hoped. I'm still typing out the other book I'm planning to publish later on. I cannot let one failure keep me from a dream and ...

I have happy news. My book is finally available in print on Amazon .com! The waiting was making me insane! I am trying very had to get Barnes and Noble to work with me to get it on their site too but they have stricter distribution guidelines.  Book can be found on this link--->=" http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=pagansamongus-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=1483929728 "  I really hate how I have to post links and such on a page to get it to be seen right!! I am probably never going to learn how to do it right but I guess so long as it does what I want then I suppose that is ok? This book is important to me on a lot of personal levels and I believe it is of vital importance that  my readers read and understand it, as it gives a graphic and moving glimpse into the life of yours truly. I encourage eve...

Updated status to my book, again... the book I have written for the series labeled " The Darkened Path" will soon be available to the Barnes and Noble Nook sales page hopefully within the next few days., for those users that perhaps don't use Amazon or don't have a kindle or other compatible device of which to download the files to from Amazon.  I am still waiting on my first printed copy, which is supposed to be here October 7th. I never thought that having to wait for something would be so agonizingly long!!!! Patience is sometimes not my forte especially when I am waiting on something important to happen. I shall hope that my thinning patience will pay off with something good very soon.   So onto other matters. I am still seeing that tidal wave of change coming on the New Moon, as was mentioned in yesterday's post on  http://pagansamongus.blogspot.com/   titled "The Angry New Moon".  At the moment, it seems to swell and recede, swell and rece...

So I said when I had the link for my book I would post it! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FF4HZUE     I'm so happy, and working on getting it actually in print with createspace.com. to my annoyance, the fee to have my book distributed to other sites is $25.00. kinda have to wait to do that but I will be getting it done soon as possible! I will be back soon I promise, I'm busy posting that link everywhere it can be seen that I can manage to do for free at the moment. Bright Blessings to all!

It's 4:30 am and I am very EXCITED and HAPPY to announce that my book is DONE!!!!! It is scheduled to be put on the Amazon KDP store site sometime between the next 12 hours for the US and 48 hours for the rest of the world.  Although I am a bit put off by the fact the list price is only going to be $9.99, as that was the highest amount I could post it for, the fact that most of what I will be earning is still 70% in royalties from every sale is enough to keep my hopes up that surely someone across the world will purchase my work. I worked so hard on that 231 pages and I am begging  Higher Powers to please, please favor me on this! The second that I see that I can post a link to the book and where it can be found I will do so and I'm going be watching that earnings page like a hawk waiting for that first sale! I'm going to try and get it into print as soon as possible if I can manage it. So a note to all Amazon users and those that own a...

I have not abandoned "The Journey of The Black Wolf " instead I have been rather busy with a different series titled   " The Darkened Path, Book 1: The Burden" this first book of the series is a partial biographical work of myself, and the first 30 years of my life from the time I was 7 & on up until present day, and is intended to be part of a series where I delve into my own personal demons, and realize I have a few magickally inclined gifts, that just maybe I am not as crazy and unbalanced as my family and peers would like to believe. and finally, finally, come into my own as a Solitary Witch and Divination practicioner, after having gone through several lifetime's worth of personal tragedies and setbacks. At the bottom of this page, is the cover of my new, about to be published work, I have thus far written about 120 pages and there is at least 50 more or so to complete before I get it published to Amazon Kindle. To g...

  Has been all I have done for a straight month! so much so, that I have barely 20 pages of one of my books done! I'm so frustrated with myself! I think I have a minute to sit and type out a page or two but betime I get home my home life overwhelms me to the point where I get nothing done for myself until the late hours. My new job at the food processing factory is making me into a slave!     Anyways.. above is  a photo of my book cover, the one titled "The Black Wolf's Book of Spells and Crafts"  I think it looks very nice indeed! This is the book I am currently working on in my account at createspace.com.  Much to my vexation..Myspace has decided to completely destroy its members' old pages and the new Myspace has nothing on it but music, pictures and entertainment media and everything else such as blogs, emails and other types of written pages have been cut out. I personally lost 3 years worth of blogs and notes and o...

   Hello to my readers and Blessed Be to you all! So far I have chapter one done and part of chapter two. The first chapter consists of cleansing spells and tips, and spells and information for creating charged water and my own personal recipe for Holy oil. Chapter two will be about Banishment and Reversal of people, energies, and issues from your life, home, and sacred space.  I am slowly but steadily working on the companion book to Journey Of The black Wolf, which will be titled "The Black Wolf"s Book of Spells and Charms". I have more material to work with and add into that book and it will not take so long to write and you all will have a glimpse into my Crafts and Practices as a Solitary Pagan. I have a mixed bag of magical practices that include, Voodoo, Hoodoo, Santeria, Southern Root Work, Folk Magic, and many other southern and ethnic flavored ideas and theories. I also practice various divinatory methods such as Tarot, Pendulu...

It is to my disappointment and frustration to inform my readers that the book I am working on is yet again delayed. Another week has gone by with no computer. I ended up having to restore everything on this piece of garbage back to its original factory settings just to get my windows program and everything else to run! I am very frustrated and annoyed with this setback because I lost EVERYTHING I was working on and now I have to go back and re write every single word. I seriously wanted to rant, rage and cry, weeks worth of material , notes, drafts, and other things I had saved were totally wiped clean. what caused this disaster? I got a newer computer from somene that wanted rid of their desktop because supposedly it had a problem and they just wanted a new one.  I quickly discovered that oh it had a virus or malware somewhere and Windows 7 would not even start or load or anything,  and it was about to crash.  Note to self..never again ...

I have to ask my readers to please forgive my lack of  publishing info on my new books, I have recently had to replace my eyeglasses prescription and I am waiting on it to arrive in the mail. Hopefully this coming Monday  I will be back to writing pages again. I am very frustrated and annoyed that I am so behind! Normally I would have had half a book written by now as I can usually sit here all day and type away and churn out pages at a time. At present moment I am working on advertising and promoting other things i have been working on trying to ease my frustration and just maybe make a dollar or two. To all my readers Blessed Be and Have a Nice Day!

Hello to my readers and Blessed Be! I have now set up a amazon account and will be publishing a book about my personal experiences in my path as a eclectic Pagan. The book in itself is a partial biographical work, featuring excerpts from my own life and from the lives of people and situations surrounding me that have so far shaped and influenced me on my Path to Enlightenment, The entire book will consist of every type of paranormal, supernatural, spiritual, and magical happening that has ever happened in my life, and details of my journey, and everything i have so far learned and experinced as a solitary Pagan in my 30 years in this lifetime. There will be a series companion of this book consisting of my own personal spells, recipes for all of my personal oils, powders,and spell crafts, herbal mixtures, titled "The Black Wolf's Book of Spells and Crafts", I have not decided yet whether or not the companion book will be a ongoing venture or whether or not i will keep addi...
